Ground broken for new Erith distribution centre

Glencar Construction has been appointed by commercial real estate investor and developer Firethorn Trust, to deliver its 8,700m² logistics scheme, Blueprint Erith in South East London.

The project will involve the demolition and site clearance of an existing warehouse and external concrete yard, followed by the construction of four modern single-storey warehouse units that will all include internal offices.

With a BREEAM ‘Very Good’ certification, the development is being constructed to achieve net-zero carbon with 15% rooflight coverage, 13 EV charging points and LED lighting.
